What's New

In case you didn't hear my book launched just last week on 11-11-11! yay! :) If you want to find out more about How I Found My True Inner Peace just head on over to my book launch page. My Website Redesign also launched on 11-11-11! Finally! It's been a long time coming! Please head on over to Spiritual Compass to check it out! Several articles and prior newsletters have not made it over to the new look-and-feel yet, but soon they will all be up! :) Please do send me your feedback. I'd love to hear what you think!

I also want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving this month. It's a month to really tap into what we our grateful for! From the little things to the biggies. And to really set your brain into rewiring mode for being more uplifted to attract more uplifting experiences, try a Gratitude Journal! :) I love doing these. Just write down three things you are grateful for every day, once a day for 30 days! Can you stop at just three things!? I know I couldn't on some days. It takes 21 days to reset the brain, so tap in for an entire month and see what miracles flow your way. I bet the first miracle is a more happy, uplifted and peaceful state of being. You will begin to search and look for the magic that already exists in your life and always has! :) It's amazing and magical. Enjoy true happiness this month!

Yoga Pose of the Month
Reverse Warrior
Sanskrit: Viparita Virabhadrasana
Photo of Maggie Anderson taken by Morayo Sayles

Reverse Warrior has amazing benefits. Such as, helps fatigue and lower back pain as well as strengthens the legs, abs and thighs, stretches the inner thighs, hips and groin, increases flexibility of the back and spine, clears the mind, reduces overall body weight and burns excess
of calories. (The last two are my fav! teehee.) And it's great for releasing energy all the way
up the body through and out the raised arm. Love it! :)

Directions on how to come into the pose:
Standing in Warrior II (legs wide and apart, hips open, bending left knee so knee is over ankle, think good posture and reach tall). Take the back (right) hand down and slide it down towards the ankle, resting on the back leg. As you take a side bend, reach up and over with left hand making a crescent shape or willow tree action. :) Maintain good foundation in the legs. Gaze forward or up towards sky. You are feeling this in the side waist and not the back per say. But you will receive mooch-o benefits in the spine! :) Hold and breathe. Five deep breaths here.

To come out, release the arms down to shoulder height back into Warrior II. Switch sides! Gotta have balance! :) Then release the arms down, straighten the back and legs. Heel toe your way back in to Mountain pose, palms together for Namaste. Close your eyes and breathe deeply.

When not to do this pose or to modify / Contraindications:
Serious injury in spine.

Your God Moment

If you're ever in trouble and you need to see God,
you can come here....

What is this place to you? We all have the one place or several places that when we go there we are totally alive, totally connected and in touch and totally peaceful. It's a peaceful garden, the mountains, the ocean, the first snowflake falling in front of you, the purring kitty beside you, the laughter of children playing, a meaningful prayer, a full deep cleansing breath, during yoga and exercise, the sun beaming on your face or simply somewhere you can take yourself deep inside. It is a sacred place within us.

(Email me your God Moments or Sacred place! How you get there! I'd love to hear it and share it!)

Find the magic in life. Be in the magic. You've got to seek it out! Even if only to allow it to flow into your life. Don't focus on the mundane and the monotony that life can bring. Rather, focus on ALL possibilities.

There are so many "God Moments" that we just have to reflect on and try to be with as much as possible; especially in times of distress, distraction and hopelessness. During these times we must bring ourselves back to these moments of being close to God. Sometimes God/Universe and the Angels work with us and make these moments happen to wake us up. And other times we must seek it out ourselves and know we can get there anytime we choose. Right here and right now. And since we ARE God/the Universe, it is within us to connect with at ALL times.

For me, I get there in many different ways. Sometimes it's a kind act from a friend or my children. When I am practice energy work, reiki and yoga I get to a connected blissful state of being. Every morning I wake up and meditate prior to my workouts and starting my day. This meditation and energy work I do IS the start to my day. I connect when in deep meditation. It's how I honor mySelf and my God/Universe/Source connection. It's how I REMEMBER "I AM". It's my peace. And when I begin to get disconnected throughout the day I try to remember that place and take a breathing break to get back there. I close my eyes and re-connect. I am a very visual person so visualizing how I view energy is my connection to Source. I visualize beautiful sparkling pink, blue and gold energy, as well as white light. The connection is amazing. When I am having a tough time connecting, I ask my Angels and God for assistance and something occurs to help me or peace just overtakes me immediately. Just ask, have the intention, get quiet, breathe and connect. What works for you?

The next huge thing I LOVE to do that connects me at a deeper level is to be grateful and thankful for my blessings. What's in my life right NOW that I am so happy and grateful for. Like my health, my children's health, my home and stability as well as most importantly my connection to the Divine, etc. It could be writing it down or simply reflecting on it and I am brought to a most sacred, powerful and beautiful place. :)

When we are touched with these moments we remember what a miracle life is. The magic is alive within us. We remember that if God brought us to this experience God will bring us through it. We remember that we are the God Divine and WE are pulling our most divine self up from deep inside us. The strength that's always been there but not necessarily totally tapped into.

We don't need to have a "bad" or negative experience to seek out our Divine Connection and feel whole again. We can find that special connection within us NOW. As we find this special place inside of each and everyone of us, it is much easier to process the challenges and make it through with a more uplifted state of being.

We are uplifted because we are connected and know that no matter what we will always be perfectly safe, happy and taken care of. We know that wherever we go in this life and the next we truly do live on, evolve and grow. We ascend and get closer to our highest Soul and our Source/God/Divine.

Enjoy, live, laugh, love always!

Blessings to you on your path,

Dear Maggie
Click here to submit *your* question for the Dear Maggie Column

Dear Maggie,

As I do know there are no coincidences, and as I write this I experience this feeling of joy that surpasses all understanding. Let me explain:

I just returned from a trip to Sedona, Arizona (September 17, 2011). Our meditation leader moved there to retire with her husband. We (four ladies from Fort Lauderdale and I) also went to Dr. Hawkins last appearance lecture on "Love". It was my first time to Sedona and also first time seeing Dr. Hawkins. It was such an amazing experience for I experienced the past happy life that I had as an indian girl. I was so home and know that I will return there!!

I would like to summarize my life like this: I was totally unconscious until December 16, 2009 when my brother took his life which made me realize how dead I was. I asked God to help me and so the "REAL" journey began in July, 2010. It has been an undescribable year of awakening to my essence. I have been involved with the Law of Attraction - Teachings of Abraham, HO'Oponopono, Intuitive Healing, the teachings of Dr. Hawkins, Angeology, Reiki.... and the evolution is at such a fast pace that I'm still in awe of what the Universe and Light and Love of God is giving me.

I don't remember how I came upon your website, but as I started reading on your life, I felt so inspired and resonated with your work so much.

I'm working on energy blocks. I know I need to move from where I live. I'm married but I know he's not my soulmate but I have two boys 14 and 6 that adore him and so I think it's fear that's blocking me from moving forwards. I asked him for a divorce last year and he begged and pleaded and I gave him because of the boys. We've been together 15 years and they have been rough years because I have to older kids from my first marriage that he never "really" accepted and I didn't stand up for them enough... Can you give me some tips on how to work on this block? I've never written to a total stranger but somehow I feel very comfortable in writing to you...

"Being unconditionally loving towards everyone is taking care of yourself"

S

Dear S,

I just love love love Sedona! It's one of my home away from homes. I've only been there once. My other home away from home is a place I have yet to visit (Hawaii), but someday soon I will do just that! :)

I offer my condolences to you for the loss of your brother. Your life was one life he was meant to save in doing what he did, however, scary and devastating it was. With his life we all can say something was gained. You became awake. Conscious of the life that you were meant to live all these years!!! We all have our moments of clarity but it's these pivotal moments that take us up and beyond where a tiny moment would have. These experiences that start out horrible are always meant to be. We can have faith that all moments, that may seem awful at first, are meant to be. There is always a reason. And in taking this stance with these situations we align our vibrations to higher ways of being and living a Divinely fulfilling meaningful life!

That being said...! :) Your blockage can be a tricky one and yet so simple at times. Each situation is different. However, in your case the answer falls in your own email to me. The very quote you place at the end of your email is what you are meant to hear now.

"Being unconditionally loving towards everyone is taking care of yourself"
And to take care of yourself you must listen to your feelings, emotions and divine intentions. What does taking care of yourself mean to you? Your feelings said you are not in a marriage that is equal to the standard you wish and have known this for some time. I can't tell you what to do here but there is that blunt part of me that needs to say, "It's time. Move on. Life WILL work itself out perfectly and beautifully." However, everything is divine. You sticking it out a little longer is divine. You know that marriage is a partnership and takes work. Sometimes it's sticking it out and working through the kinks to come out the other end even more totally devoted and in love than when you started. And other times it runs its course, we've learned the lessons we needed to learn and know in our soul of soul's and heart of hearts that it's time to move on to new lessons and live life more fully elsewhere. We know when staying is only leading to stagnation and living in fears of "what if's".

I ended up finally leaving a dead-end marriage 11 years ago when my son was only eight months old. I tried to work on this marriage but there was no effort from my now ex-husband. The fighting continued and the unhappiness, frustration and depression grew. There were a few surprising folks close to me who wondered if I was doing the right thing. I knew I was. I had finally become awake after my son was born. I found a new love in the metaphysical and web design. I began meditating. The answer of my soul's truth only grew stronger and louder as time wore on and it was inevitable. We were not meant to be. Which I was then and am now totally okay with. I was and am soo much more happy not being in that broken relationship anymore! I have grown, gone through more challenges, lost a ton of weight and evolved into such a bright light compared to the unhappy overweight person I was back then. What is your soul screaming at you to do now?

Your children need to know that it's NOT healthy to stay in a situation where they are totally and completely unhappy. Not to "suck it up" and stick it out because someone else says it's best or you think it's the "right thing to do". Kids know! They see right through you! They feel the "unhappiness" in their parent(s). They know when things are not what they should be. But if you stay you send them a clear message to stay even when they are unhappy. Do you want this pattern to stay with your children and they stay in unhappy jobs, or relationships, etc. just to appease another? Or do you want them to always go with their intuition, follow their heart and be happy now! As I was typing, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Funny... No one is behind me. (Other than my guides and angels helping me type this for you.)

So if staying is your answer there must be a change that is consciously co-decided so that both of your work on your issues to be happy together and with your ENTIRE family. That includes accepting those children who were never truly accepted but are a part of you and your heart!

And if going is the answer, then it's possible to do so smoothly and with ease for all involved. There may be heartache for the children closely involved but they will eventually see that this, too, was meant to happen for the happiness of all involved. And when they are adults they will thank you for your courage to stand on your own two feet and be happy. Follow your heart always. And a song I haven't heard in a very long time is playing, they want you to know the chorus: "I am special. I am beautiful. I am powerful. Unstoppable. I am." You are. :)

Please respond when you get the chance. I am wondering how things have evolved since you emailed! I will be sending out a new online course tomorrow. I have one sign up. It's for my 28-day Soul Coaching Program. Given your situation, this may intrigue you. If not, no biggie! :) I look forward to hearing how awesome your life is today!

Blessings to you Rebecca,
Maggie

Courageous
I can't wait to go see this movie! So I haven't seen this one yet, but I am recommending it because I have been hearing some great things about this spiritually deep movie. I've seen the trailer and it looks like it has a great story to keep you entertained while still expanding your awareness to a beautiful life to be grateful for. If you've seen this movie, please send me your comments! I'd love to hear back!

It is my desire and intention always that you take away from my newsletter feelings of empowerment, aliveness, divine connection and peace. May You Always Know the Peace that Dwells Within.
